vanessa hutchins are counting on. Two teen idols for sweethearts. Hutchins, scoring in "high school musical." Salena gomez, making headlines every time she stepped out with her baby-faced former boyfriend, justin bieber. Now, the two hollywood good girls are going bad. Shaking off their teen queen images for more adult roles. It's more than spring break. It's a chance to see something different. Reporter: The two teamed up with the controversial writer behind "kids." They have to do different things to attract different audiences. And this is going to get these girls a lot of attention. Reporter: They're just the latest in a long line of teen adolls, to shake off their good girl image. Like britney spears who went from this -- &#9834; hit me baby one more time &#9834; Reporter: To this -- &#9834; baby, don't you want to dance up on me &#9834; Reporter: And more recently, miley cyrus, who graduated from this -- &#9834; it's a party in the usa &#9834; Reporter: To this. In gomez and hudgens latest rolls, they're on screen, as thing back shots, smoking marijuana, getting arrested, brandishing guns and bikinis. I think it will be interesting and controversial. Reporter: Appear alongside james franco, who plays a drug-dealing scoundrel, in a spring break story gone horribly wrong. We push it to the limit. Reporter: Hudgens says it was time to shed a new skin and step into something different. Different, indeed. Hudgens went on to say that she wanted to step into a different person's shoes in an entirely different world. Saying she's never done anything like this before, calling it freeing. Well, she hasn't done anything like this before. It is brand-new. It will be, quote, controversial.
